Investigation of the slaking behavior of weak geological units in terms of undercutting rate
It is aimed in this study to measure the undercutting rate of weak geological units under field conditions and to determine the relationship between this parameter and other indexes and physical properties of related rocks.

Slaking deformation model for rockfill materials
The safety of core wall type rockfill dams during reservoir impounding is greatly affected by the slaking deformation of upstream shell materials. The slaking deformation of the rockfill materials is analyzed using the triaxial slaking tests, in which ...
